First Minister of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 108
...

"Bohai High Chong".

These four words resounded through the Heihe Valley, Hao Yuan nodded silently when he heard the words, and sighed: "Ten thousand alone can block [-], it is very good to defend the Heihe Valley, and make a name for the King of Jin and me, Hao Yuan", and then looked deeply. Glancing at Gao Chong who was standing still with his gun in his hand, he beat his horse and left.

"General Manager, this group of Western Qin soldiers fled westward."

As soon as Hao Yuan left, Li Shimin rushed to lead the army.

"Duan Zhixuan, Deputy Luo Jun, you two quickly lead the headquarters to chase after you", Li Shimin sternly shouted, "Pursue with all your strength".

Li Shimin, who had always been calm, had a ferocious face at this moment. Just now he vaguely heard a cry, and his heart twitched, and he couldn't help feeling a bad premonition.

Duan Zhixuan and Duan Zhixuan took orders to leave.

Li Shimin immediately patted his horse and went straight to the Black River Valley. On the high slope on the bank of the Black River Valley, Li Shimin was stunned, and Changsun Wuji and others who came behind him also had serious expressions.

The not-so-wide Heihe Valley was piled up with corpses, and the Wei and Wei were clearly divided. Most of the people in the valley were soldiers from the Western Qin Dynasty. , extremely tragic.

"Yu Zhi...".

At a glance, Li Shimin saw hundreds of remnant soldiers cuddling tightly on the bank of the river, shouted, dismounted from their horses, and rushed straight over.

Gao Chong raised his eyes and saw Li Shimin staggering towards him from the other side of the river. Gao Chong twitched his mouth, rolled his eyes and passed out.

When Li Shimin rushed to the front, he saw blood stains all over his body, his armor was torn, and Gao Chong, who had been injured several times, passed out, and Gao Xiong beside him was struggling to bandage the wound on Gao Chong's chest.

"Doctor, fast pass doctor", Li Shimin roared angrily when he saw this.

On the other side, Xue Ju crouched on the horse's back, with a defeated expression on his face, he beat his horse and ran away sullenly.

Xue Rengao on the side was also unbearable, he maintained his bravery and was always fighting on the front line. Unexpectedly, Li Shimin's entire army pressed on regardless of casualties and fired with full firepower.

No matter how brave Xue Rengao was, he couldn't really be the enemy of ten thousand people. Facing the onslaught of Duan Zhixuan, Murong Luohu and others, he was also injured a lot, and he was almost beheaded by Duan Zhixuan on the spot.

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, there is Tang Jun in front..." Chu Liang hurriedly turned back and said with a look of horror,

Hearing this, Xue Ju raised his head and took a closer look, only to see the mighty Tang army rushing from the side in front of him. It was Chai Shao, Murong Luohu, Li Anyuan and others who were ordered to intercept. Xue Ju couldn't help but exclaimed, and almost fell off his horse in shock .

Xue Rengao was young and brave, even though he had fallen to such a point, he still did not change his arrogance, "The matter has come to this point, the only way to kill him is to take advantage of his unstable foothold, and maybe there is still a way out."

After all, he raised his horse with all his strength, "Warriors of the Western Qin Dynasty, follow the king to kill", after all, he led the army straight to the Tang army regardless of his injuries, it was really brave and diligent.

"Gao'er", Xue Ju was shocked, he tore off the cloak behind him, and snatched the horse from the hands of the guards, "West Qin sons, return to Jincheng", after all, he lifted his spirits and charged.

At this time, the soldiers of the Chinese army who followed Xue Ju were the elite of Jincheng Headquarters, most of them were locals from Xiliang, living in a mixed culture of Han and Hu, and they were very martial-minded. The surge, aroused the blood of the Xiliang athletes, raised their weapons and rushed towards the Tang army.

In the formation of the Tang Army, they were able to intercept the Central Army of the Western Qin Dynasty. Before they had time to line up, Xue Rengao, with disheveled hair, came towards him like an unrivaled demon.

"Xue thief suffers death", Tang general Murong Luohu saw Xue Rengao suffered several wounds, rushed over bloody, and immediately eager to make contributions, he caught up head-on, "Murong Luohu came to fight you".

Xue Rengao was brave and invincible, with a majestic spear, the Tang army who was within a foot of him would either die or be injured. Seeing Murong Luohu coming, Xue Rengao didn't take it seriously.

I saw Murong Luohu stabbing out with a spear, Xue Rengao dodged sideways, then reached out and clamped the spear firmly under his armpit, and then stabbed Murong Luohu through with a backhand, "You are also worthy of being called Luohu".

Xue Rengao shook the stick heavily, and threw aside Murong Luohu, who was dying in peace. Poor General Murong Luohu, who wanted to make meritorious deeds, but died on the spot.

Since the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Buddhism has been prevalent, and the world often uses the names of characters in Buddhist scriptures, such as Li Jiancheng's small characters Bishamen, Changsun Wugou's small characters Avalokitesvara, etc. Luohu, Murong Luohu, etc. are all named after this.

"General Murong", Chai Shao and others were shocked when they saw this.

Duan Zhixuan was furious, he straightened his long spear and went to meet him. Obviously, Xue Rengao recognized Duan Zhixuan, knew Duan Zhixuan's strength, and now his own condition is not good, so Xue Rengao was determined to break through, and did not intend to fight Duan Zhixuan, just fight one or two Duan Zhixuan was forced to retreat in one round, and he hit the horse and left.

Duan Zhixuan was about to pursue, but he heard Tang Jian shout: "Don't chase the poor", Duan Zhixuan had to stop fiercely, and turned to kill the Western Qin soldiers.

Xue Rengao almost couldn't catch his breath when he heard this sentence, he turned his head and gave Tang Jian a hard look, as if to say: You are the poor, and your whole family is the poor.

Seeing that Xue Rengao had broken through the blockade of the Tang army, Xue Ju was overjoyed, "My son is as brave as I am." After saying that, he cheered up and opened and closed with a spear. The elite Chinese army cut through the blockade of the Tang army like a sharp knife. The army plunged into the battlefield obliquely, and during a chaotic battle, Xue's father and son were able to escape.

Chai Shao and others pursued and killed them all the way. The Western Qin soldiers died or fled or surrendered, countless. Seeing Xue's father and son flee into Qianyuan City, Chai Shao immediately ordered to besiege the city.

In Qianyuan City, as soon as Xue Jufang retreated to the county government office, he couldn't hold on any longer and fell ill.

Until night, Xue Ju woke up faintly. Not long after, Xue Rengao, Hao Yuan, Chu Liang and others gathered in front of the sick bed.

"How many... how many people are left?" Xue Ju looked at the military advisor Hao Yuan expectantly.

Hao Yuan lowered his head when he heard the words, "It's less than fifty thousand".

Xue Ju spit out a mouthful of old blood immediately when he heard the words, his eyes widened, "I have an army of 20 to march eastward, and I handed over 17 to Zong Luohu, and now only [-] are left from the [-] army?"

Everyone was silent when they heard the words. Seeing Xue Ju's grief and indignation, Xue Rengao frowned, and said loudly: "Aye, why do you have to act like this? When Jincheng raised troops, the land was only one city, and the soldiers were no more than three thousand. Now the territory is even bigger. The soldiers and horses are more prosperous, isn't it better than before?"

Hearing Xue Rengao's words, everyone suddenly realized that this was the truth, and Hao Yuan also echoed, "The king of Qi is strong."

However, Xue Ju's complexion was still pale, and he coughed until his heart was piercing. After finally calming down, he sighed quietly, "The loss of more than [-] soldiers and horses in the First World War was so tragic. How could the Tang army be so powerful."

Xue Rengao was about to object, but Xue Ju's expression changed, and he sat up and asked, "In ancient times, was there a surrendering emperor?"
